Discoveries of Prehistoric Shoes, Winery, Neanderthals and More Unveiled at Boston Area Talks
07.10.2024

More recently, Armenia has become famous for the site of the oldest leather shoe and the oldest winery discovered in the world, a cave known as Areni-1.
Furthermore, it seems the Armenian highlands and Georgia contain sites which hold the oldest evidence of humans leaving Africa, and also sites where Homo sapiens interacted with Neanderthals.
A Cambridge Science Festival archaeology panel, titled “More than Bones,” at Harvard University’s Science Center on September 23, addressed these topics and more, while Areni-1 was discussed a second time at greater length at a September 26 lecture titled “Treasures of Areni-1 Cave,” at the National Association for Armenian Studies and Research (NAASR) building in nearby Belmont.
